Who Should I Start? Greg Dulcich or Trey McBride

Tuesday, December 16, 2:52 PM

Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich caught both of his targets in a Week 15 Monday night loss to the Steelers, turning both into chunk plays and finishing the game with 46 yards. He's now topped 40 yards in back-to-back games, and while it was his teammate Darren Waller who grabbed the headlines with two touchdowns against the Steelers, Dulcich remains in play as a desperation start against a historically bad Bengals defense in Week 16. By a wide margin, Cincinnati has allowed the most receptions, yards, and touchdowns to the tight end position, making them the only team that fantasy managers could actually entertain the thought of starting a team's second tight end against. With most leagues whittled down to four teams and waiver activity less competitive at this point in the season, there are likely better streaming options available, but in an absolute pinch, Dulcich could be viewed as a low-floor play for fantasy semifinals.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride had a historic day in the Week 15 loss against the Houston Texans, recording 12 catches for 134 yards with two touchdowns on 13 targets. McBride became the first tight end in NFL history with at least 100 receptions in consecutive seasons, and set a new NFL record for most consecutive games, 16, with at least five receptions. Travis Kelce had previously set the record in 2018 with 15 straight games, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. McBride's Week 15 performance is further magnified by his dominance against one of the best defenses in the NFL, highlighting his historic play in 2025. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 105 receptions for 1,071 yards and 10 touchdowns on 140 targets across 14 games this season. As long as McBride remains healthy, he profiles as the number one tight end in fantasy football by a healthy margin. Arizona will host the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16.
